I
never thought there was really anything that the government could do
regarding the Catholic insistence of buying up all the hospitals, but
I hoped it would gain some traction and maybe make the news. But with
eight total signatures, no news organization is going to pay any
attention to this at all.

I
don't think there is any kind of ulterior motives behind the
resetting of the petition count. Actually, I suspect that it was some
type of computer error that lost the current signatories. Whatever
the reason, I hope there is some IT people around to look into the
problem and try to recover the lost signatures.
